I leveled 1-50 (cap) in Star Trek online in about a week. I'm the second highest DPS in my 30+ person guild and always place first in pickup raids.

I should be a clueless moron because I burned up...

My model has the formula nearly working the same way, except that monsters have a lower cRatio floor at 1.0 and generally have ridiculously high Attack values. I mean like 1,500-2,000 Attack being...

No wonder they ignored our plea for a cap. They were doing that anyways in addition to the mega nerfs. Go figure.

I'm exhausted at the moment, but I'm making a note to reply to this more thoroughly at a later time (which may be 5 minutes from now because I'm weird).

Basic things: Yes, NMs are generally...

Oh? But why does it matter if the gear is useful or not?

You say you don't need gear. Whether or not gear is useless should have no bearing on you because you are so skilled. If the events are...

I see no reason to build one.

If you're lucky enough to find someone silly enough to let you come Paladin to something, the last thing you want to be doing is decreasing your damage output by...

This is like calling Deep Blue a skilled chess player. He's not, by the way. I'm acquainted with one of the men who built him, and even he'll agree that Deep Blue was anything but smart or skilled.

I already defined skill in an earlier post in this thread and have absolutely no desire to repeat myself. Remove all luck from the equation and you cannot have skill, as there will be nothing that...

There's an app for that.

I mean plugin.

I don't think there's very much for people to feel good about with an event that anyone can beat, however. Just look at the overwhelming response from this community towards Abyssea and you'll see...

Why do you care? Gear being useless shouldn't matter to you since you're the resident champion for gear/gear swapping being unimportant and the best player on your server, right?

You're still paying customers worth the exact same $12.95 whether you're happy, sad, obsessively in love with Tanaka's hair, or in the process of throwing your PC out the window. Anyone still playing...

Eh, even if basic things like seeing through walls is too much, players can accumulate the exact same gear by doing Floor 80 a bit more - which is perfectly doable in vanilla FFXI.

Screwwwwwwwwwwww that. Straight up.

Allowing people to trade up 1 tier is plenty. It still requires that a group hit floor 80 consistently at the absolute minimum in order to get floor 100 armor....

I'm not sure that's legal in most states.

Aye, it's not technically the armor you turn in. Just the kills. So you can't get floor 100 armor from enough floor 20 spam, only floor 40 armor. If you want floor 100 armor, you have to either farm...

It's a difference in terms. Yes, dLvl affects hit rate. No, it doesn't change acc or eva. It's not an "Eva bonus", or "Acc penalty", just a penalty to total hit rate. Call it nitpicking, because it...

Argument was where?

I posted a clarification, and a minor correction as you both incorrectly asserted that level correction had an affect on the Acc/Eva ratio.

I then made a practical...

It's -2% Hit rate per dLvl, rather than Accuracy.

-40 Eva is always +20% Hit rate when hit rate is unbounded, but it has a reduced/null effect when your hit rate is already at/past either the...

The best is the content with rewards that are outdated upon release.

Balance!

I think you mean BRD+DNC+Healer + DDx3. COR's buffs never touched BRD or DNC, and going from 3 DDs to 2 + Cor meant the Cor's buffs would have to add over 50% Damage to each of the remaining DDs to...

You severely underestimate the amount of content in FFXI, especially when taken from scratch. The problem isn't lack of content at endgame. It's lack of content with rewards that matter.

95% of...

Edit: Derp, fStr2 not fStr. Reaver Grip +1 is 1.7 WSC vs 1~2 fStr2. It's a less useful grip than Reaver overall, though, and useless for Wildfire.

It's the opposite, actually.

It's not hard to be classified as a good player. It takes very little work to be at the top. It takes only basic gear, understanding, and attitude really. Nothing...

I'd put SCH on the list if only because then it means we don't have to fight to get it put onto Accession.

And for Altana's sake, let it be party castable else it'll just be worthless.
